As for Butch I think he's proving he can do it. We have been shite lately and he's killed it in state. He signed 10 Tennessee kids last year and 9 of the top 11 in state. He's also got some of the top Tennessee players coming in the 2015 class

There's no question he's done well in-state. Three years ago, Bama, Georgia, Auburn would have poached half of them. It all comes down to the changing demographics you mentioned before and whether they'll lead to sustained top talent. He's still going to need to go out of state frequently -- every state that isn't one of the big 5 (Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana) goes through cycles. Alabama, for instance, has had some spectacular years for talent...and some pretty meh years.
